Welcome to the Belarus SIG!

The Belarus SIG website has a new look. To help you navigate, here are some guides:

If you are new to the site, begin at Navigation to find out about how the website is organized or learn more about us. If you are new to genealogy, start with our Get Started section. If you want to search for your ancestors, check the SIG Search. Looking for your ancestor’s shtetl? The Communities section is where to begin.

Open the Record Sources section to learn about the 2016 SIG Projects, District Research Groups, and to search the Belarus Records Inventory.

New Partnership

We are very pleased to announce the availability of the Miriam Weiner Archive Database search engine for Belarus. It can search for the names and/or towns appearing in the summary translations of documents researched by Miriam in her 25+ years of research in Belarus. In addition, original images to over 20 different record types are now viewable via links in the search engine results page. Read the Introduction for more details on this database.
